Eliza [the lizard] allows the keyword help; Mugush doesn't

The sentence is "list wares"....

The sentance is:
Could you please list your wares ?

"list wares" is no sentance, its a fragment.
Dont grow the habbit to throw keywords only at the head of the NPCs, that makes you look like a no-rp-noob. ;)

With my mute Sylveria, my NPC process is usually whispering the keywords in ooc to them, then RPing Sylveria doing all sorts of motions, and waves, and pointings, and head nodding/shaking in order to buy or sell anything. It can be tedious sometimes but is usually pretty fun to do :wink:

I think the dwarf near silverbrand also doesn't respond to "help", like Mugush. They may not be the only ones.

Sylveria #w #me writes "Message" is helpful if you want to sell or buy things and be quiet about it

I try to use the least amount of writing RP as possible. Sylveria can indeed read and write well, but I think it defeats some of the purpose to play a mute character that just writes everything. Just seems to make the process of talking into something tedious, without helping a lot of other rp thigns.

Not always easy to get all the writing supplies anyway :P And it's not about being quiet, it's about using rp to cover the technical key words you have to have but that she can't say :wink:

I once forced her to write. Now, that is when it gets fun.

Yes, indeed. It's how they work :wink: !!

(For starters... just keep in mind that most people like a friendly "hello" from others in their day. Most people might also "help" you if you ask them for it nicely. Now go apply these things to your conversations with the NPC's :wink: .)
